Justine Oller grad spent the early morning hours of Jan. 30 without shoes, her wallet, a jacket or a cell phone, watching her East Spencer St. apartment as become consumed by flames.
The blaze had been started by a stray cigarette, which burned all night after being thrown from the window of a neighboring duplex. The fire spread from the adjacent apartment to Oller’s duplex, destroying her next-door neighbor’s apartment and damaging hers. Fortunately, no one was hurt, but Oller was left without a place to live.
